Chelsea have been advised on how to make their transfer business easier following a £1 billion ($1.2bn) spend by Todd Boehly and the Blues board. Gary Cahill recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the owners should focus on building the core of the team first, and then adding one or two players to improve on the foundation already built.
Cahill added that making so many changes at a time has a way of messing up plans to set up a successful team.
His words, “When you’re in transition and the team’s evolving and changing, when we were successful here we had the core of the team and then we added one or two players to that and that’s a lot easier to adapt those players into the system and the football club. When you have so many changes, it does take time. The ability is there, first and foremost, but it takes time to learn this league and get experience. You get experience good and bad, football’s not all roses. They’ve had a few sticky results and that will give them some experience. In contrast to that, the manager has obviously got bundles of experience in this league, so I think he’s a great person to guide them through this.”
“Obviously it’s quite disappointing in terms of the results but the average age of the squad is very, very young and it’s a new squad that’s been put together. A lot of them have not got huge experience in football just yet and certainly not in the Premier League so that will take time, it’s a very hard league. But there’s bundles of talent. I was away on pre-season with them and saw the training, and I was very impressed. But this will obviously take time. Time and patience and let these young players develop.”
